Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

"You're talking about that girl named Chen, right? Yes, her strength has increased very strangely. I'm sure you know something about it, Qin Yu."

The conversation between the two directly revealed the subject of the negotiations.

"That's right, something that can quickly raise the rank of a creature, up to the seventh rank. I wonder if His Majesty the Sorcerer King would be interested?"

Upon hearing about the effects of what Qin Yu described, a hint of anticipation flashed in the Magic King's eyes.

He slowly stood up and stepped down from the throne.

“Of course…” His actions alone were enough to show his interest. The two faced each other and began to have an equal conversation.

"But what price will I have to pay?"

A transaction inevitably involves sacrifices from both parties, and the Sorcerer King had no idea what was so special about his possession that caught his eye.

"Because the research on that thing hasn't yet fully achieved mass production, my demands won't be too unreasonable..."

Qin Yu produced a list containing the names of some of the major guilds within the Beacon Kingdom's influence on the Southern Continent...

Chapter 233 Unexpected Judgment

The Sorcerer King glanced at the names on the list, then looked at Qin Yu: "What do you want me to do with them?"

"It's very simple, we just need to sever all cooperation with them."

Qin Yu came to the Sorcerer King to suppress the Beacon Kingdom's power in the western continent. The list was full of guilds from the Beacon Kingdom, which relied on the Sorcerer Kingdom for development. If the Sorcerer Kingdom cut off its cooperation with them, they would be left to fend for themselves.

The Sorcerer King nodded. "This exchange is indeed interesting. These people are truly dispensable to the Sorcerer Empire, just like what you're offering..."

"However, there is one thing you should be very clear about: whether you are my enemy or my friend, your choice will determine the future of the Magic Kingdom."

Qin Yu's tone already carried a hint of threat, but the Sorcerer King didn't feel offended; in fact, he found it quite amusing.

"Oh? You think you can influence the fate of the Magic Kingdom or even the world?"

"Yes, your choice now will affect the future of the Magic Kingdom."

The Sorcerer King turned around and remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Qin Yu, which do you think will be passed down to future generations, magic or technology?"

The Magic King asked Qin Yu another question.

"Without a doubt, it is technology. Magic is limited by talent and cannot be popularized, while technology can benefit more people."

Qin Yu answered without hesitation that although technology also has some problems, it is definitely more suitable for ordinary people than magic.

"So, if destruction is inevitable, will you still continue on this path?"

"Yes, because they're hoping to get away with it."

Qin Yu had basically seen through the Magic King's thoughts; these two issues were exactly what the Magic King was worried about.

The reason why the Magic Kingdom rejects goblins and their technology is largely because of this. They know in their hearts that the future of magic is not as good as that of technology, but they don't have a good way to change it.

Magicians rely on magic, but what will they do when the end times arrive and magic is exhausted?

The Sorcerer King knew this fact but refused to accept it, and Qin Yu's second answer reflected this very mindset.

Slowly walking back to his throne, the Sorcerer King remained silent for a long time.

"If Your Majesty the Sorcerer King needs time to think, I will stay here for a while."

Qin Yu couldn't force others to agree; his previous words had already been extremely aggressive, and saying anything more would probably lead to another fight.

"Yes, I'll get back to you after I've thought it over..."

The Magic King rested his head on his hand, as if taking a break, while Qin Yu prepared to leave.

Outside the gate, Noel stood there waiting for Qin Yu to come out.

Click...

The door opened, and Qin Yu came out to see Noel leaning against the wall, looking utterly shameless. She was staring blankly at the sparks burning on her palms with her hands outstretched.

"Mr. Qin Yu, you've finally come out..." Noel put away his flames and looked at Qin Yu. "So, did you reach an agreement with the King?"

"Not yet, he needs more time to consider it, so I'll probably be staying here for a while."

"Then you can stay at my house. I can show you around the Magic Kingdom."

"Then I'll take my leave..."

Qin Yu did not refuse. It would be much more convenient to have a native guide him. Yin Feixue also met up with the two outside the palace. Previously, only Qin Yu and Noel were allowed to enter, while Yin Feixue could only wait outside.

The three of them now return to Noel's house, and while they're at it, they also invite Sugar Quixote and the others to gather there.

Late at night

The Sorcerer King was deep in thought in his palace. He had already decided whether or not to cooperate with Qin Yu, but he could not agree to Qin Yu's request immediately.

"……who?"

Suddenly, a strange aura appeared outside his palace, and the palace door slammed open.

"An evil god..."

The one who entered his palace was not anyone else, but an evil god.

"Great Sage King, it is an honor to meet you..."

The evil god bowed politely to the Demon King, seemingly without any hostility, but the Demon King still watched him warily.

"No need to be so wary, Magician..."

Your Majesty, I am only here on orders to discuss cooperation with you.

"Cooperation?" The Sorcerer King's eyes became suspicious. Was this evil god trying to bewitch him?

"Yes, cooperation. Our king can help you with your inner turmoil, and help you and your country to continue to thrive..."

The evil god knew very well where the Demon King's worries lay, which is why he was sent to negotiate with the Demon King.

"You mean, your king can help magic continue?"

"Yes, as long as our king masters the power of the supreme god, he can create a new world. At that time, His Majesty the Sorcerer King and your country will naturally also obtain eternal power..."

The evil god spared no effort in promoting their evil god's sales package to the Demon King, attempting to persuade him.

However, the Sorcerer King had absolutely no interest in this guy's long-winded explanation.

"You want me to believe in a plan with an uncertain future? Do you evil gods really think you can gain control of the world?"

"Everything is under our king's control; all you need to do is make the choice."

The Demon King clearly disliked these evil gods; he wasn't so delusional as to lose his senses because of anything.

"Sorry, I refuse. I don't trust you evil gods at all..."

Decisively, the Sorcerer King rejected the evil god's cooperation plan, leaving the evil god with no choice but to shake his head in resignation.

"That would be such a pity. So, when our king descends, it will be the time of destruction for all things..."

The figure of the evil god was gradually disappearing. The Sorcerer King wanted to capture him, but the evil god had obviously used some special method to break free from the Sorcerer King's spatial blockade.

"...Interesting. It seems I really need to make a good choice."

The visit of the evil god made the Sorcerer King even more certain of one thing: Qin Yu must possess something that could fight against the evil god, and befriending him would definitely benefit the future of the Sorcerer Kingdom.

Therefore, he issued a blockade order in advance, commanding the Magic Kingdom not to have any cooperative relationship with the guilds on Qin Yu's list, and those who violated it would be severely punished.

In the territories of those guilds

One second they were celebrating their growing power, and the next they received an ultimatum from the Magic Kingdom.

"Shit! What are these mages doing?"

"They've severed ties with us? Why?!"

"Go ask people in other guilds to find out what's going on..."

In an instant, the Beacon Kingdom's influence in the western continent was cut off from its cooperation with the Magic Kingdom. They realized that they were not isolated victims, but rather that their entire influence in the western continent had been suppressed.

"What exactly is going on!!!"

It's one thing if one guild is cut off, but this is the whole story! All their guilds have had their cooperation with the Sorcerer Kingdom severed. Someone must be interfering behind this!

Chapter 234 was targeted.

In Noel's big house

Don Quixote and the others were very curious about what deal Qin Yu and the Magic King had made. Qin Yu did not hide anything and told them the terms of their exchange.

"That move is too ruthless..."

Don Quixote never expected Qin Yu to use such a ruthless method.

"Ruthless! I don't think so. They've always liked to use this tactic—blockades and sanctions. I'm just copying them. Besides, the Sorcerer King hasn't even agreed yet..."

Qin Yu and his group of seven stayed overnight at Noel's house. Unbeknownst to them, the Sorcerer King's sanctions had already been issued, and people from the Beacon Country were spewing profanities on the game forums, relentlessly attacking the Sorcerer Country and the Sorcerer King.

But all they got in return was ridicule from other players. After all, in other people's eyes, this was karma, and no one could escape the wrath of heaven. Who would have thought that the forces of the United States would be punished like this in the game?

The next day, Qin Yu also received an invitation from the Sorcerer King and a reply from him.

"There's something I need to tell you, Qin Yu. Last night, an evil god came to see me."

The Demon King planned to tell Qin Yu about the evil god coming to find him, and Qin Yu's expression became serious after hearing that it was an evil god.

The Sorcerer King told Qin Yu everything that had happened. Qin Yu was also glad that the Sorcerer King was sober and had not been bewitched by the evil god, otherwise it would have been troublesome.

"Although these evil gods don't personally intervene, they've supported many forces in the main world that are our enemies. The harbor is already a disaster zone..."

The Demon King sighed. These evil gods dared to come and talk about cooperation with him; it was truly a joke.

"Your Majesty, Lord Flame Hand has sent back intelligence."

A subordinate came in to report that the Sorcerer King had taken the magical letter that had been sent back, read it, and then handed it to Qin Yu.

"Take a look, it's not a secret..." Hearing the Sorcerer King say this, Qin Yu also took a look.

The letter explained the situation at the harbor and requested the Sorcerer King to send a portion of his magician legion to support them. The Harbor King had already dispatched his Sea Dragon Knights to attack the stronghold of the demonized sea creatures, leaving his own stronghold vulnerable.

"This Harbor King is really going all out..."

In Qin Yu's memory, the Harbor King was a very carefree person, but also a very impulsive one. If it weren't for the help of the Magic Kingdom, the harbor would have almost fallen several times.
